Never lose your value

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a$20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, “Who would like this $20 bill?”Hands started going up.He said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first,let me do this.” He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up.He then asked, “Who still wants it?”Still the hands were up in the air.“Well,” he replied, “What if I do this?” And he dropped it onthe ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. “Now who stillwants it?” Still the hands went into the air.“My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it didnot decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. You are special - Don’t ever forget it!Related posts

Jack and Max are walking from religious service. Jack wonders whether it would be all right to smoke while praying. Max replies, "Why don't you ask the Priest?" So Jack goes up to the Priest and asks, "Priest, may I smoke while I pray?" But the Priest says, "No, my son, you may not. That's utter disrespect to our religion." Jack goes back to his friend and tells him what the good Priest told him. Max says, "I'm not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try." And so Max goes up to the Priest and asks, "Priest, may I pray while I smoke?" To which the Priest eagerly replies, "By all means, my son. By all means." Moral : The reply you get depends on the question you ask. For Example : Can I work on this project while I'm on vacation ?
